Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 372: Expedition Road: Beast Fighting Land

Kelgart was sitting in a dark basement with no light. There was an old table in front of him and a chair that was also of unknown age. Kelgart had already sat here before. There have been administrators of the Samoylov Colosseum for who knows how many generations, and he is just one of them.

This is the most famous Colosseum in the entire Webway. It is said that when the ancient Eldar Empire still existed, it was already one of the most famous Colosseums in the universe.

Audiences from all over the empire and the whole galaxy came here to watch the fights between war beasts, enjoy the excitement of blood and killing, and witness the death and the screams of beasts before their eyes. It is said that this is because the Eldar Empire has not yet fully devoted itself to joy. In the former, a substitute for the forbidden brutal wrestling between men.

Of course, it seems so stupid now, why ban fighting between people? Where is the civilization between beasts? But no one cares about it now anyway. People only know that the Samoylov Colosseum is the most famous and exciting in the entire webway.

Every day and every night, before every beast battle begins, guests from all over the web and the galaxy, even the dignitaries and archons of Gomo will come here to enjoy the most exciting bloody show. Performances, here can provide wonderful performances not found in Comoros or anywhere else.

This is still a gambling ground. People spend huge sums of money, pouring all their desires and thirst for blood and killing into the game of the gambling winner, releasing the beast in their hearts in their cheers, as if they were here. Just like those above, when you enjoy the game and win in gambling, you can experience the excitement of fighting and the boiling of blood just like the beasts on the field.

But being a Colosseum administrator here is definitely a hard job. Although he has been working in the Colosseum, Kelgat rarely has the opportunity to go up there to watch beast fighting games. The only time he can participate in that is The only way to compete is to register the roster of fighting beasts here, and to sign up and ask people to drag away the bodies of the dead beasts.

Most of the time, those corpses will be broken into dozens of pieces, or even more, and Kelgat needs to do this kind of hard work, bringing several other arena guards with him, and driving the slaves to clean up those smelly arenas. Rubbish.

Other than that, Kelgat can only sit here every day, sitting in the dilapidated basement of this freight warehouse, listening to the faint cheers from the concrete top above his head, and the roars of the war beasts fighting each other. The sound, or the cry of death, and then Kelgat knew how many corpses needed to be cleaned up today.

But this job also has an advantage, a very unique privilege, that is, as the registration and reception staff, Kelgat can be the first to see the war beasts that are about to take the stage. Those powerful and terrifying beasts always make people feel uncomfortable. Kelgat was excited and curious.

Kelgat didn't need to go up there. He only needed to see the new war beasts every time to know what they would look like in battle and what happened in the cheers and war roars above his head every day.

But for the current Kelgat, his mood tonight is not very good, because he has heard too many screams and dying struggles, which means that the beasts participating in the battle tonight have now There wasn't much left, and to make matters worse, the night was only half over.

He needed to find a way so that in the remaining half of the night, the spectators who came from Gemo and other places to watch the fighting could see more blood and killing before dawn, and now, he heard it again A dying roar.

"Damn it, that monster has killed too many." Kelgat complained and crossed out another name on the thick notebook with a feather pen on the old table in front of him.

"Perhaps, I can help you?" A voice said in front of Kelgat. Kelgat raised his head and looked at the man in a black trench coat in front of him. He stood in front of him, holding his hands On the belt at the waist.

Kelgat looked at him, straightened up and leaned on the back of the chair behind him. He looked up and down at the man in front of him, and noticed the whip hanging on his waist, "Are you an animal trainer? Are you here to participate in the competition? "

"It's obvious, isn't it? Who else would come all the way here? What's the winning rate tonight?" He pressed his belt and looked left and right at the empty warehouse. The ground here was covered with blood, and it looked like it was the former What's left of the bodies hauled away overnight.

"Hmph, you came at a really bad time. Several of the beasts above have been killed, so yes, the winning rate is very good, but for its owner, not for you or your investors."

Kelgat leaned back on the chair, clasped his hands and looked at the Eldar man in front of him. He stood in front of the table and smiled softly, then raised his head and looked down at Kelgat in front of him, "Then it's the best. , which means the stakes are also high. Now, can you arrange for my beast to play? I think there should be no one in the front."

He raised his head as he spoke, smiling and looking at the ceiling where another scream came from above. Kelgat also looked at the ceiling, thought for a moment and then shrugged, "Okay, I will arrange for you to play, but if you lose Now, don’t come to me.”

"Of course not. I am a wise man. Now put my name on it." He raised a hand and pointed at the registration book in front of Kelgat. The administrator shrugged and lifted the table. pen on.

"Name." "Thor Constantine." "Very good."

Kelgat turned over a page in the huge notebook and wrote Vito's name on it. He put the pen on the notebook and stood up with the chair behind his legs. He leaned down and backed away with a squeaking sound.

"I still need to see your beast, is it outside?" Kelgat looked at the rolling shutter door on the side of the huge warehouse in front of the table. It was open, and there was only a long and wide plastic hanging cloth hanging there. , like the door to a slaughterhouse.

The blood slid out from under the plastic sheet, and the corpses or body parts of the beasts were dragged out from there. Kelgat looked in that direction, and Vito also crossed his arms and turned around to look towards that place. The plastic sheet on the door, he shrugged, tilted his head slightly to the side and motioned for Kelgat to follow.

Vito walked towards the plastic sheet, and Kelgat also walked around his desk and followed him to the door. They stepped on the slippery ground covered with blood.

Vito lifted up the plastic sheet and buried his head and got out, and Kelgat followed closely behind. He lifted up the plastic sheet and got under it and stood on the steps outside the warehouse door. When he got out, the fighting beast The cold wind outside the stadium blew on his face.

Kelgat glanced outside the Colosseum, at the strange sky suspended in the webway and beyond the shattered earth. Lightning and strange colors flashed across it, and the storm raged endlessly outside the eaves of the warehouse. Dancing, the heavy rain splashed on the ground outside, raising pieces of water curtains.

Kelgat glanced at the woman standing outside the door. She seemed to have arrived with Vito. Her silver hair hung down on both sides of her face, making her beautiful face and purple eyes stand out. She He also looked at Kelgat, but only once.

The woman then looked at Vito who was walking up. He walked to the edge of the crescent table next to the woman. Then he put his hands on his belt again and tilted his head forward slightly. Kelgat also leaned forward, his Boots stood at the edge of the crescent moon platform and looked at the big iron cage in front of him.

He looked at the beast bent down among them. It was a tall giant. It sat in the cage with two huge hands on its knees. Thick red mane covered its shoulders, chest and arms. , looking at it from Kelgat's perspective, the first thing that caught his eye was the hair.

The second thing I saw was that unique eye. The tall giant raised his head slightly and looked at him. It was a one-eyed eye, one that was so wide-eyed under the dim eaves of the freight passage outside the warehouse. Eye.

The horns on his head rose and fell with his breathing. It stared at Kelgat from above, and the latter also looked at it. Kelgat had seen a lot of beasts since he came here to work, but he had to Admittedly, this beast seemed unique. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he did think so.

"What's its name?" Kelgat asked as he stood on the steps. Vito, who was beside him, held his arms in his arms and walked slowly from one side to Kelgat's side, turned around and whispered softly to his side.

"Blood Butcher." Vito said with a slight smile. He glanced at Lilith who almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but finally laughed out loud. She stood with one hand on her hips and glanced at the giant in the cage below. , muttering the name softly.

Blood butcher? This name would certainly be appropriate for someone from Khorne, but... for one of Tzeentch's men? Well, this can be regarded as Werther's unique way of irony.

Kelgat obviously didn't know all this, so he didn't feel anything strange. In fact, Kelgat had heard more outrageous names in this ghost place, and the Blood Butcher was just a very ordinary, even inconspicuous one among them. , but he also knows that strength and weakness are not determined by names.

Kelgat nodded, then raised his finger and pointed to a staircase door in a dark corner next to the warehouse door, "Where do you go up? Go straight down the corridor, and then you can reach the trainer's position. Come on, this war beast will be transported in from here."

After Kelgat said that, he raised his head and gestured to the dim track door in front of the cage. The door was open, and darkness shrouded it. The platform track at the lower end seemed to lead to some deep hell. , but judging from the roar coming from it, this may not be wrong.

Vito shrugged slightly, then turned around and waved his hand to Lilith to invite her to follow him, then walked towards the dark staircase door in the corner of the door. Under the crescent platform on their side, there was a cage containing the "Bloody Butcher" Transported by the conveyor track below, walk side by side to the front with them.

Vito walked side by side with the cage. He turned his head slightly and looked at Magnus in the cage. The latter was also sitting there, turning his head and looking at it with one eye. Vito glanced at Kelgat in the distance behind him. , he looked at himself and Magnus sliding into the dark door from behind, but it seemed that he couldn't hear what they were saying at that distance.

Vito glanced over and looked at each other with the huge shadow in the dark cage. "Remember, you can't use psychic powers and you can't speak human language. You know what to do."

Magnus sat in the huge cage. He gently raised his hands and placed them on his thighs. He turned his one eye to look at the darkness coming in front and nodded. Then the shadows emerged from both sides of the cage. It slid sideways and engulfed Magnus in it.

The big iron cage slid into the shadow of the door, and Vito turned around and walked up the dark stairs on the side. Lilith also stood at the bottom of the stairs and turned her head to glance at Kelgat, looking at the administrator standing in the distance watching them, then smiled and raised her head, watching Vito walk up and walked up.

They walked up along the dark stairs and soon reached the top of the stairs. In the dilapidated corridor in the dark corridor, it looked like a shrine building of the ancient Eldar Empire. The walls on both sides were painted with legendary murals.

But that was just an old memory of the past. Now it is dilapidated. There are few exquisite murals on the walls. The peeling wall skin is broken into slag and scattered in the corners of the corridors on both sides. The portraits of the gods have long been forgotten. Now there are only the most fanatical cheers here.

The waves of crazy shouting came from the end of the corridor. The colorful lights flickered here, illuminating the ghostly colors of the neon lights in this dark corridor. Vito looked in that direction. Lilith behind him also came up and stood beside him to look at the end of the noisy corridor with him.

Vito looked at the beauty beside him. She put one hand on her waist and shrugged her shoulders and turned her head in that direction. Vito then smiled slightly and walked towards the flashing exit at the end of the corridor.

His boots with silver iron plates stepped over the fallen wall on the ground. The fragments broke under Vito's feet. The hissing sound of breaking echoed with his footsteps in this deserted corridor. Vito put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and walked to the end of the corridor with Lilith following.

Vito lifted a huge plastic sheet at the end of the corridor. He came out from under it, and then his whole face was illuminated by the colorful flashes around him. He raised his hand to briefly block the glare, and then gradually regained his vision amid cheers.

Vito looked around, looking at the cheering audience in the surrounding stepped auditorium. The dark elves stood on the towering corridors, raised their arms and cheered at Vito who had just walked in. Their voices mixed with the lights around them, turning into a unique magic like a hallucinogen.

Vito looked around and was surprised to notice the plastic sheet behind him. Since it was a flexible display screen, the light and flexible flexible screen flashed with colorful lights, just like all the bright lights around, turning this place into a crazy world like taking drugs.

He smiled, then threw off the display cloth on his shoulder, and walked up to the stage in front of him, which was illuminated by various lights. The old stage was full of gaps and damages. The front wall and handrails had all collapsed, exposing a viewing platform directly facing the center of the arena.

Vito walked up to the stage and looked around the audience seats. He was looking for the captain among the crazy audience dancing, but Vito did not find him. This place was very unique. Unlike the Colosseum in Comoros, there was no VIP seat here. All the audience stood in the audience seats around to watch the live game and the bloody killing.

Vito walked to the gap. He stood at the edge of the steps and overlooked the Colosseum below, which was covered with blood and corpses that had not yet been cleared. The walls destroyed after the fierce battle also dumped rubble in the corners, which were covered with dried or undried blood.

Vito looked at the Colosseum. Lilith walked behind him and looked at the host standing in the Colosseum with Vito. The host, wearing a vest and a short-topped gentleman's hat, was wearing a pair of exquisite leather boots. Under the colorful lights above his head, he walked on the field full of ruins and bloody stones.

He walked, raised his arms and looked around at the cheering audience, "Today is a great night, a very great night."

The host raised his head and looked up at the audience who raised their arms and shouted. He raised his arms and clenched his fists. "The cruel beast was killed in a contest, or killed the opponent. It was very bloody and violent!"

He shouted hoarsely, and the bloody and brutal declaration also caused the cheers of the audience around him. The host laughed and turned to point to a high platform opposite to where Vito was standing. There was also a huge display cloth like the one behind Vito.

A tall display cloth hung down from the roof, covering the area in front of the two magnificent gate pillars. The special light on it gradually changed to reality, illuminating the walls on both sides and the ground in front.

"The next player to appear is Borgo, the hot dark horse tonight, who has brought us countless killings and blood!" The host lowered the last voice and shouted the name from the deepest part of his voice, as if a beast was roaring.

Under that voice, the display cloth opposite Vito instantly lit up, and it instantly showed a raging fire. The rolling flames rolled up from the screen and instantly illuminated the surroundings, illuminating the ground and the audience in the audience seats on both sides.

Everyone looked at the fire and cheered, cheering for the trainer who walked into the scene under the attention of the crowd. Under the illumination of the raging fire curtain behind him, he raised his arms and roared like a roaring lion.

Vito stood on the platform opposite him, tilting his head slightly to look at the guy who came up. He was naked from the waist up, and his entire skin was covered with tattoos in a rather cruel way, tattoos made up of scars cut by knives.

He walked to the gap, looked in Vito's direction, pointed at Vito with his finger, and then smiled and pointed at Lilith behind him, "I will conquer your beasts, two, conquer together, and the one behind you will kneel down, kneel in front of us, like this!"

He then put his hands around his waist, as if hugging something.

"An idiot?" Lilith stood behind Vito with her hands on her hips and smiled. The latter shrugged slightly and put his hands on the belt around his waist. He looked down at the host below, grinned and looked around at the audience, then raised his finger and pointed sharply at a dark arch on the wall beside him.

"And his war beast, the Flesh Tearer!" the host shouted loudly. A roar suddenly sounded in the dark cave. A claw suddenly stretched out from the darkness and grabbed the door frame on one side. The bright blue light shone down from the top of the head and shone on the claw.

Under the blue light and the firelight of the display cloth, a slender but tall upright dragon walked into the arena. The back of the dragon was lined with thick chitin armor, which was already covered with scratches, but it still protected the flesh underneath.

The slender head of the beast was nailed under the armor layer, and the flat and pointed nose stabbed forward, covered with hard bone spikes, making its head look like the tip of a spear. The beast called the Flesh Tearer opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and the razor-like claws suddenly opened on its arms. The tail, which was longer and sharper than its body, bulged behind it along with the arms.

It raised its towering body, leaped up its slender curved legs and roared into the air. The howling instantly caused an explosion at the scene, and the audience all roared hysterically, cheering along with the roar.

The host looked around at the warm atmosphere with satisfaction, then turned around and pointed to the high platform on the other side, pointing to Vito standing under the lights, "And their challenger is tonight's newcomer, Thor Constantine! And his war beast!"

"Blood Butcher!" The host raised his arm suddenly and pointed to the dark arch below Vito, where the cage of the iron cage suddenly opened outward.
